Casioalpha Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'd put my hand up for that one also, however from what I can determine from the Reality-XP forums this is a difficult process in this craft. Hope I can be proven wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hurray, i was just reading that the 430/530 WAAS is Vista64 compatible now. So where's my credit card... That will be the cherry on top for the Mooney VC . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice_King Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I see what you fellas mean with the difference between the 2 version's ie FS9 and FSX of the Mooney and the cockpit lighting not being separate as it is in FS9. I think I may have figured this problem out with the Lighting , but I'll need to test so stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Cool, let us know what you find out, its not a big deal, but nice to see if there is a fix for this. I know the overhead dome switch does the same on/off as the panel light dials on the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 That would be great if it is possible to separate the lights . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I got the RXP GNS530 slapped in - simply replaced the default one at the same size. Great stuff, now i have to go study... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'm still experimenting but to have instrument lighting alone edit your Aircraft.cfg file and put // in front of the line regarding Light2 ie the fx_vclightcar I think I can create an fx to reduce the level rather that turn it off completely.

Heiko Glatthorn Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 O.k. thanks. That killed the dome light. I noticed that you can read only half of each instrument ? And at dusk it is way to dark... I know there is a problem with FSX and the instrument lightening at this time of day. I guess it should be more bright then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 edit the light map mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 O.k.... How ? Then we covered everything, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Mango, In the texture folders for the mooney aircraft you will see a bmp file dedicated to night gauge illumination (cant remember of hand what the file name is, i am at work now so cant look!) Open this bmp file in photoshop etc and increase the brightness of the gauge illumination masks! NOTE: you may need to convert the bmp to 32bit first using DXTBMP to be able to edit it, as most of the textures are stored as bmp DXT3 format, which you cant load straight into photoshop. Hope this helps you mate, Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks Russ ! I'll have a look into it. All planes in my hangar wrestle with the same problem. F.e. the DA Cheyenne got a nice lightening at dawn/dusk, but it is very strong at night. Well, since i fly much more at late afternoon/dusk than at night, i would prefer it more bright. Nothing beats a nice sunset flight when the FTX lights kick in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm re-editing my FS9 Light map as I think I can apply the same to FSX the only problem I seem to have is the effect in FSX is difficult to work with. I be placeing my GNS530 in there as well once I find ALL the references, I seem to have both strobing at present. . Light map in about 1 Hr from now , OK well it was a bit longer than an Hour BUT I think it it worth it. One of the constraints I don't fully understand is the effect the actual time has on the rendering of the lighting transparency hence there is a slight difference between Night Dawn/Dusk and Day but this may be specific to my Setup. Now I'll look into the effects for both FSX and FS9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Ohhhh yessss, the second pic - that looks great ! Hope you can apply it to the FSX model as well. I'll post my RXP coordinates as soon as i am back home. Keep up the great work guys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've tweaked a bit more to give a better 3D look to the Tach and AH , I think the HSI could be a tad brighter. Now off to look at FSX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ White Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 looks nice Mango! A word of caution though! During the creation of the HD Mooney VC i have created "cut-outs" in the dash for all the instruments, so it looks like they are sat in the dash instead of on top of it. This means all the cut-outs are perfectly sized for all the standard instrumentation, and it looks like your GPS mod is a different shape to the stock model! This means you will see a hole in the dash around your new GPS as it is smaller than stock and will not fill the hole i created that fits the original! The cockpit is now undergoing final preperation! Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
